Regex or Text to Column

I am trying to do a text to column or Regex function to remove certain words from my fields. See below example:

 

Input

Name
Adam Smith
David Warner
Admin 1 Mark Donald
Admin 2 Alan Donald 
Mark Jones
Admin 3 Steve Smith

 

Output: I would like to either remove the "Admin" from my data or have them in separate columns. I shared two output examples that would work for me.

 

Output 1 (remove admin completely)

Name
Adam Smith
David Warner
Mark Donald
Alan Donald 
Mark Jones
Steve Smith

 

Output 2 (text to column)

NameName
 Adam Smith
 David Warner
Admin 1Mark Donald
Admin 2Alan Donald 
 Mark Jones
Admin 3 Steve Smith
